Then tell me, if people were to neglect maintenance as you say, because you say its fairly elastic, would their cars break more often, resulting in more vehicle repairs, which you just stated is fairly inelastic?
exactly , either way you end up spending it it's just a matter of when. Like I said , when the economy is good , I spend days doing lots of easy work , making good money , when its bad I spend the same amount of time doing harder work that doesnt pay as well . i am and prefer to be a flat rate tech . Which means I get paid by the job. if I dont have a wrench in my hand I dont get paid. i dont get paid just for showing up , and the only reason I say easy work is because of the thousands of dollars worth of tools that I bought to make it easy . Not tools someone gave me , but tools I bought as needed. I know there is always that guy who has hundreds of thousands in tools that this uncle and that cousin and whoevers grandfather gave him , but does he know how to use them ? I make more money when the economy is good and far less when it is bad , thats all the proof I need
